Easier Mob Wars

Added 6 Mar 2008, ID #29422

When fighting in mob wars,DO NOT DIE!!,as you can see everytime you die in one they bomb a bussiness and you can't win,while this is hard to do you may get a habbit of doing it,bomb bussineses,it is fun and most of all hilarios what the shopkeeper says,but if you can't find an FBI agent thats tough,but all the better because you are not wasting money.If you try and buy a bomb there cheaper to buy,you can see them on your map and most of they are high explosives,BUT if you don't want bother bombing just get an FBI agent,if you don't know where to find one then here are BIG clues,when you and Frankie Malone get the free apartment (while not realy because you paid for it with your life) and on the mission where you and Monk have to save her,you will come down the stairs and a goon will atack you,when you turn right inside before the bar,you will not find the FBI agent there on the mission but when Frankie dies come back the way you came in and there is an agent dressed in black.Hopefully I helped you with this hint

If you are board and just screwin arround you can grab a pedestren and toss them out in the middle of the road when a car is comming you wont get any heat and you will get an easy kill... Hope it helps

Streetsweeper

Added 1 Feb 2008, ID #29057

This gun does exactly what it says on the tin. It literally sweeps the street.

It cost's $500,000 from the dealer in a tunnel near the Stracci Compund. It can hold 100 ammo, plus an extra 10 to start. Once you buy it, give it a whirl as 5 or 6 Stracci will ambush you. This gun is 99.9% one hit kill. If it didn't kill them, then just blow them away.

This is the perfect gun if you want to take Warehouse's, Compund's and Transport Hub's. This is my favourite gun, and hopefully, it'll be your's too!

Low on ammo after taking over a compound???

Added 15 May 2006, ID #21251

If your low on ammo after whacking all the goons in the enemy family's compounds, then don't place the bomb just yet. Get all the ammo you can from the basement, go out of the compound run around just outside of it for a few minutes then go back in and all the ammo will be there again so you can load up! There could be a couple goons outside but not many if any at all, just kill them.

Help Me do I here you say

Added 2 May 2006, ID #21086

Right I have been playing this game now and I have found that the has very easy skills that if you learn you can easyly finish it. Right at 1st there is a fight betwen you and the friend but the other mafia man is holding the other firend against the wall. Throw the man into a box beside you to your right. There is money in there.

The 2nd cheat is that kill as many other mafia people as you can. This is a good way to get respect and in turn gain skills. (YOU WILL NEED SKILLS)

3rd you need to learn 1960s NY. This will come in handy as this will be easy 4 you to get around. 4th you need to rob lots of banks the way to this is easy. It is in 4 easy steps.

1- Go to the Police man outside and bribe him $250.2- go inside and kill the gaurd to the LEFT 1st and NOT with a gun. If you need a gun the alarm will sound and this will bring more gaurds on the way down to the vault.3- kill all the gaurds going down the steps and there is a room with boxes if the alarm has sounded there will be a man with a shot gun in the other door on the way to the there. 2 will be in the vault and they may shoot you when you go in. I tend to run in and beat them up with a mele wepon. And then the final gaurd will be in the cage with a shotgun. Once you have blown the vault and gone in there will be 2 men come in to the vault after you shoot them. And get the money and run out the place.4- Dont Kill the police outside they will be on your side.

This is on referal to the big banks eg midtown. It may be useful to use your minimap to to get all the walls and doors and size of the room this is useful and if you know the size of the room. You can decide what gun to use, shotgun to use in small rooms and handguns and tommygun in big openspaces.

Robbing Banks

Added 31 Jul 2008, ID #30639

An easy way of robbing a bank is to have a safehouse near it that way you don't have to much trouble robbing the banks.Another one is that the banks in Little Italy and Brooklyn they only give you 4,000-5,000$. But in Midtown and New Jersey the banks give you 20,000-30,000$ it works for me everytime.

Hobos with Moola

Added 21 Dec 2008, ID #31396

Go to the train yard in new jersey. On the north-west side, behind the contaners is a hobo doing a wierd dance. Kill him and then slowly walk away. As your walking away, three hobos pop up and will attack you with led pipes. Kill them and they will have $250 each. Come back later after each time.

Road Blocks

Added 30 Mar 2006, ID #20379

When you are trying to bomb the family compounds and get to the road blocks just stand a good distance away and throw dynamite the first bang could kill the people or when the cars blow it defenetly will.

Easy Compound taking

Added 22 Dec 2008, ID #31403

First get 2 bombs and a street sweeper. Then break through the blockades. TO break through all you have to do is throw a molotov and explode everyone or just cap every dirty Stracci, Tataggllia, Cuneo, or Barzini you see!!!!!! Ok once you get into the compound grounds stay behind cover. There will be 4 or 5 people coming out of the first building and like 3 people coming out of the second building. Kille everyone outside then go in the first building. Kill anyone you see don't waste your time killing evryone they will die if they don't get out anyway. Go to the basement wich is under the stairs. Kill the 2 or 1 guy(s) down there adn plant the bomb. Afetr that get out and kill the 4 or 5 people outside. Remmber use the street sweeper. Alright now that you have done that go to the other building and do the same but be careful in the basement there might be a guy standing behind that big pillar with a shotgun. PS when I say might I mean there is!

Presser bar

Added 5 Feb 2008, ID #29099

Insted of beating the crap of of the store owner or destorying his goods you can simply aim a gun at him and the presser bar gose up sounds easy hun???? But only some of these guns work the sub nosed pistol, the pistol, and the magnam, and last but not least the tommy gun, enjoy playing.

truck roberie

Added 6 Feb 2008, ID #29109

If you are not a great godfather player and when you rob a truck you get shot and most likely die. Well instead of shooting at it keep raming the truck with a car the men will get out and you can just run them over. If you ask me it is a ton easier ...get er done:D

DAM COPS!!

Added 3 Feb 2008, ID #29077

Dont you hate that when cops keep chasing you and you can't shake them well drive on the sidewalk they wont follo you so they will hit oncoming traffic or other cops....if that doesnt work drive through the raod were other families have 3 cars in the road as a block just drive arround them you will lose them for a little HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

Hijack a Car And Only Get 45 Heat!

Added 2 Jun 2007, ID #26772

Well you know normally when you hijack a car and enter it you get 90 heat well go up to the car hold L1 and hit the car twice or three times untill the perosn gets out then just simply enter the car and you will only get 45 heat!

Weapons

Added 9 Dec 2006, ID #24722

When you have over 750,000 dolares and you decide to buy weapon don't waste your hard earened cash on handguns, first buy the streetsweeper (lvl 3 shotgun) as it will take out most enemys in one hit. It also hold 100 rounds so wont run out of ammo for a while

Mob Wars

Added 15 Apr 2006, ID #20749

If you start a mob war, it's really easy to end. You only have to find one FBI agent, and you can use him over and over again. I find that it's a whole lot easier to find your FBI agent than to bomb a store. The fed I found is in Southern Little Italy, near a courtyard, bomb dealer, and big white buildings with pillars. Hope this helped.

Awesome Glitch

Added 4 Sep 2006, ID #23162

This is probally the first and collest glitch in this game. On the Hell's Kitchen Industrial Park, there will be a dealer selling a magnum. There will be stairs next to him. All you have to do is grab somebody, get them next to the stairs. The very end of it, then you can push them off and they will fall threw the ground and into eternity!
